Childrens playground

Locals know this one punches above its weight for a village playground. The big slide is the main draw — kids clock it from the car park and make a beeline straight for it — and the rest of the equipment is kept in genuinely good nick. Picnic tables sit close enough to the play area that you can actually eat your lunch without losing sight of anyone, which parents around here appreciate. The Heritage Park is right next door, so once the kids are done with the swings you can stretch the visit out along the riverside walk with the lake nearby. Parking is easy, grass space is generous, and it’s the kind of spot that makes a Tuesday afternoon feel like a decent day out.
